Hello all! My life has been socially active with many rewarding returns to fill my heart with joy ka.
Some of you know that I participated in ‘The Ship for Southeast Asian Youth Program’, initiated by the Japanese Government.The friendship has grown and many of us have become our BFF ka.
Quite a few Japanese and Thai ship friends went to Hua Hin to attend our ship friend’s daughter’s wedding ....our ship niece:))!. It was so touching that I wish to share some of the joyful and teary moments ka.
- I really liked the whole ceremony ka.
The first ceremony was when the Thai bride and Japanese groom vowed to each other, sharing their feelings about their first date (which was so funny!), on each other's characters and styles, and about their life together into the future. When they said their vows, one emcee had to try hard to carry on his announcement task loei ka.
During the dinner, the parents of both sides as well as several invited guests to talk and offer wishes to the bride and groom. It was such a great storytelling time when little stories made us laugh and teary, feeling so happy with the newlyweds. All the speakers did it nicely to make us feel the stories were so very 'real' and precious.
The last part was very Japanese (I learned from my Japanese friend ka)....when the two read out messages they've written to the parents of both sides. Again, I was in tears...so touched by the love and caring shown. The bride and groom are the lucky children to be born to the two families who brought them up well and are very open with their decision to get married!
They had an excellent translator who was able to select the right words and tones, making the overall wishes even more meaningful and in fact, much of it was so funny too.
- The bride and groom were kind ka...they agreed for the Thai side to invite almost half of the Thai mom's friends (from ship to mom's basic and higher ed friends and beyond.) Well! For the ship group, we all have known the bride since she was in her mom's tummy and occasionally, she travels overseas with our group even without her mother going ka.
- I'm so proud of the Faculty of Arts, Chula for being able to produce quality graduates, majoring in Japanese who are highly capable of working comfortably in Japan, doing great translation jobs, etc
My Japanese friends' visit strengthened our bonds as we updated each other with many stories while a few revealed the long-kept secrets during the ship program. I myself also learned more what is available in nearby provinces, especially Lopburi.
Happy getaway kaaa!
